Ensure that the frequency standard front panel LOCKED and TRACKING lights are illuminated. 3.2.2 If the frequency standard (item 2.1) is not locked and tracking satellites, turn the instrument on and ensure it is in Flywheel Mode (FW Mode). This mode uses the internal rubidium frequency oscillator of the frequency standard. The warm-up time is 30 minutes. 3.3 Turn all other power switches on, and allow a sufficient warm-up time for the equipment (refer to the applicable checklist for the TI warm-up time). 3.4 Perform only those tests as indicated on the checklist for the TI. SECTION 4 CALIBRATION PROCESS NOTE Unless otherwise specified, verify the results of each test and take corrective action whenever the test requirement is not met, before proceeding. 4.1 FREQUENCY ACCURACY AND SENSITIVITY TESTS 4.1.1 Set all TI channels to DC coupling. If the TI does not have selectable coupling for a channel, disregard this step. 3
4.1.2 Set all TI input attenuators, if any, for all TI input channels to the minimum setting. This may be X1 for some counters. 4.1.3 Place the signal sources in their default state, as applicable. NOTES The function generator, item 2.1, will be used for frequencies from 0 Hz to 10 MHz. The microwave synthesizer, item 2.2.2, will be used for frequencies from 10 MHz to 18.0 GHz. Use the BNC cable with the function generator and use the coaxial cable with the microwave synthesizer. For the Hewlett-Packard 33120A function generator, cycle the power to set it in its default state. For the Hewlett-Packard 83630A microwave synthesizer, press PRESET, to set it in its default state. 4.1.4 Connect a 10 MHz PUT from the frequency standard to the External Frequency Reference Input of the signal source as shown by the solid line in Figure 1. 10 MHz (Rear) 2.1 FREQUENCY STANDARD NOTE DO NOT CONNECT EQUIPMENT SHOWN BY DASHED LINES UNTIL INSTRUCTED. EXTERNAL FREQUENCY REFERENCE IN (Rear) 2.2 SIGNAL SOURCE PUT 2.8 2.4 ATTEN TERM INPUT TI Figure 1. Frequency Accuracy and Sensitivity Test Configuration NOTE Both the function generator and the microwave synthesizer have 50 Ω outputs. If the TI input channel is 50 Ω, a feedthrough termination should not be used. If the TI input impedance is 1 MΩ, a 50 Ω feedthrough termination is required. If the TI input channel is selectable, then set the input impedance to 50 Ω and do not use a feedthrough termination, unless the TI checklist says otherwise. 4.1.5 If required, connect a 50 Ω feedthrough termination as shown by the dashed lines in Figure 1. 4.1.6 Connect the signal source output to the TI input channel specified on the checklist, using the attenuator and/or the termination if instructed. Set the function generator for sine wave and set the microwave synthesizer for a CW (continuous wave), as applicable. 4.1.7 If the checklist gives specific TI control settings, set the TI controls as indicated. 4
NOTE A power meter is used to verify the power level into the TI for the cases in which the TI does not meet the sensitivity tolerance due to uncertainties associated with the input power level when using the microwave synthesizer. For example, a TI may have a -20 dbm sensitivity specification at 18 GHz. The microwave source is set for -20 dbm, but the source has a power level uncertainty and the microwave cable has insertion loss. Since the actual power level may be less than the value specified for the TI (-20 dbm in this example), a power meter is used to ensure the specified power level into the TI input for cases in which the TI is either out-of-tolerance or does not make a measurement. 4.1.8 Set the signal source frequency and output level controls for each of the settings indicated in column 2 of the checklist. Refer to the checklist and insert an attenuator by the dashed lines in Figure 1 if required on the TI checklist. At each test point, verify that the TI indication is within the tolerance limits specified on the checklist. If the TI is within tolerance, skip to step 4.1.10; otherwise, proceed with step 4.1.9. Some TIs have an adjustable sensitivity knob that may need to be adjusted to the maximum setting. NOTES It is not necessary that the TI display have exactly the same units or display as the values on the checklist. For example, the checklist may list 9 to 11 Hz for the TI tolerance, but the TI displays 0.0095 khz. The TI is within tolerance. The function generator is used for frequencies from 0 to 10 MHz. The microwave synthesizer is used for frequencies above 10 MHz. Use the appropriate signal source dependent on the test frequency indicated on the checklist. 4.1.9 Measure the output at the end of the microwave cable, at the TI interface, with the power meter and appropriate power sensor. Adjust the microwave synthesizer power as necessary to obtain the checklist power level specified in step 4.1.8, as measured on the power meter. With the power level now established using the power meter, verify that the TI indication is within the tolerance limits specified on the checklist for step 4.1.8. 4.1.10 Repeat steps 4.1.6 through 4.1.8 for each specified TI channel, TI setup instructions, and measurement points indicated on the checklist step 4.1.10. 4.1.10.1 If the TI is out-of-tolerance and does not have a time base output, maintenance is required. If the TI is out-of-tolerance and has a time base output, skip to Section 4.3 to test and adjust the TI time base. Return to the beginning of Section 4.1 after the adjustment. 4.2 PERIOD AND TIME INTERVAL TESTS 4.2.1 If period and time interval tests are not required per the checklist, skip this section. NOTE The TI input channels may either be Channels A, B, C, etc or Channels 1, 2, 3, etc. The instructions are for Channels A, B, C, etc.; but are meant to be universal for counters with Channels 1, 2, 3, etc. 4.2.2 Connect a 10 MHz PUT from the frequency standard to the External Frequency Reference Input of the signal source as shown by the solid line in Figure 2. Only use a 50 Ω termination, shown by dashed lines, at the input of the TI if the TI input is high impedance (1 MΩ). 5

Period and Time Interval Test Configuration 4.2.3 Set the function generator as follows: Frequency: 1 khz Waveform: Square Wave Amplitude: 200 mv rms 4.2.4 Connect the function generator output to the TI input channel specified on the checklist, using the termination if instructed. 4.2.5 Set the TI to measure Period on Channel A. (The TI checklist may instruct to measure the period on a different TI Channel, and may give specific TI control settings.) 4.2.6 Verify that the TI indication is within the specified tolerance limits on the checklist. If the checklist does not have any more tests in this section, skip to Section 4.3. 4.2.7 Set the TI to the following settings for a time interval measurement. (The following settings are applicable for most TIs; however, the checklist may have specific instructions for the TI.) TIME INTERVAL MEASUREMENT A to B COMMON A Channel A and B to DC coupling SLOPE for Channel A to Positive (+) SLOPE for Channel B to Negative (-) 4.2.8 Ensure that the TI indication is approximately 500 microseconds, and record this value. If the display is fluctuating, choose the lowest number. The sum of this value and the value in step 4.2.10 will equal the period (1 msec) of the square wave. 6
4.2.9 Set the TI as follows (the following settings are applicable for most TIs; however, the checklist may have specific instructions for the TI): SLOPE for Channel A to Negative (-) SLOPE for Channel B to Positive (+) 4.2.10 Ensure that the TI indication is approximately 500 microseconds, and record this value. If the display is fluctuating, choose the highest number. The sum of this value and the value in step 4.2.8 will equal the period (1 msec) of the square wave. 4.2.11 Add the values from steps 4.2.8 and 4.2.10 and verify that the sum is within the specified tolerance limits. The tolerance on the checklist includes count error and trigger error for the time interval measurements. This is why the tolerance for the period value is different from the tolerance value for the period in step 4.2.6. 4.2.12 Disconnect all equipment. 4.3 TIME BASE OSCILLATOR ACCURACY TEST 4.3.1 If the time base oscillator accuracy test is not shown on the checklist it is not required, skip this section. 4.3.2 Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3. 10 MHz (REAR) 2.1 FREQUENCY STANDARD EXTERNAL FREQUENCY REFERENCE IN (REAR) 2.3 FREQUENCY COUNTER CHANNEL 1 FREQUENCY REFERENCE PUT (REAR) TI Figure 3. Time Base Accuracy Test Configuration 4.3.3 Set the standard frequency counter as follows: Default state (Hewlett-Packard 53132A counter: Cycle the Power) Frequency Measurement, Channel 1 (Hewlett-Packard 53132A: already selected in default state) Select 50 Ω for Channel 1 7
Select external reference (Hewlett-Packard 53132A: automatically senses and uses an external reference) Gate Time 0.5 seconds (Hewlett-Packard 53132 counter: Press GATE&EXTARM, press GATE&EXTARM again when GATE:TIME is displayed, use UP ARROW to increase gate time to.500 seconds, press ENTER, press RUN.) 4.3.4 Verify that the standard frequency counter indication is within the TI checklist tolerance values. 4.3.5 If the TI meets the requirement of step 4.3.4, skip to step 4.3.8. 4.3.6 Using an insulated tool, adjust the oscillator to the value on the TI checklist, if possible. The gate time of the standard frequency counter may be increased for added resolution, if necessary. 4.3.7 Allow 24 hours for the oscillator to stabilize. Repeat steps 4.3.2 through 4.3.6 until the oscillator is within the checklist tolerance. 4.3.7.1 If any adjustments are performed, repeat Section 4.1. Repeat Section 4.2 if required, per the checklist and then continue to Section 4.4. 4.3.8 Disconnect all equipment. 4.4 DIRECT VOLTAGE TESTS WARNING VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO LIFE MAY BE PRESENT. USE EXTREME CAUTION. NOTES Manually set the TI to the required voltage ranges to hold the measurement in the specified range. When measurements must be performed in the TI auto mode because the TI is not equipped with a manual range selector, the calibration test measurement values have been chosen to avoid any measurement problem which may arise as a result of the TI automatic down-ranging and up-ranging characteristics. Use only the function and ranges that are applicable to the TI being calibrated. 4.4.1 If the direct voltage test is not required per the checklist or the instrument does not have a DC voltage measurement capability, skip this section. 4.4.2 Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 4, observing proper polarity. 2.11 DC SOURCE + + - - TI Figure 4. Direct Voltage Test Configuration 8
4.4.3 Set the TI controls to measure direct voltage, positive polarity, on the range indicated on the checklist. 4.4.4 Set the dc source controls for each of the nominal values listed on the checklist and verify that the TI indication is within the tolerance limits listed. 4.4.5 Set the dc source controls for minimum output. 4.4.6 Reverse the input leads to the TI for negative polarity. 4.4.7 Set the dc source output controls to indicate the absolute value of the nominal voltage listed for the negative polarity test. Verify that the TI indication is within the tolerance limits. (The TI indication will be a negative value only for TIs having an autopolarity capability.) 4.4.8 Set the dc source output controls for minimum output (standby) and reverse the input leads to the TI for positive polarity. 4.4.9 Set the dc source controls to each calibration point indicated for each TI range listed on the checklist. At each setting, verify that the indication is within the tolerances listed. 4.4.10 Unless other measurements are to be performed, set all power switches to off and disconnect the equipment. 4.5 PEAK VOLTAGE TESTS 4.5.1 If the peak voltage test is not required per the checklist or the instrument does not have a peak voltage measurement capability, skip to step 4.5.7. 4.5.2 Connect the function generator output to the TI input channel specified on the TI checklist. NOTE The function generator has a 50 Ω output impedance. If the TI input channel is 50 Ω, a feedthrough termination should not be used. If the TI input impedance is 1 MΩ, a 50 Ω feedthrough termination is required. If the TI input channel is selectable, then set the input impedance to 50 Ω and do not use a feedthrough termination, unless the TI checklist says otherwise. 4.5.3 Set the function generator for a sine wave output. 4.5.4 Set the TI to measure peak voltage. (The TI checklist may give specific TI control settings.) 4.5.5 Set the function generator frequency and output level controls for each of the settings indicated in column 2 of the checklist. At each test point, verify that the TI indication is within the tolerance limits specified on the checklist. 4.5.6 Repeat steps 4.5.4 and 4.5.5 for each specified TI channel, TI setup instructions, and measurement points indicated on the checklist step 4.5.6. 4.5.7 Unless other measurements are to be performed, turn all power switches to off or standby, and disconnect the equipment from the TI.
